Above all, Chase Elliott is known as the 2020 NASCAR Cup champion. However, Chase has carved out another near equal distinction. Elliott is being lauded as the King of Road Courses. And with his win at the Circuit of Americas two weeks ago, he enhanced that NASCAR betting moniker. Now the NASCAR Cup Series moves on to the Northern California wine country and the Sonoma 350. The pandemic forced the cancellation of this event in 2020. Another strong road course racer, Martin Truex Jr, is the defending champion. Thus, Elliott, Truex, and road course ace Kyle Busch are favored.
